The accreditation manager for the Darien Police Department is Lieutenant T.J. Whyte. The assessment team is composed of law enforcement practitioners from the Connecticut law enforcement community. The assessors will review written materials, interview individuals, and visit offices and other locations where compliance can be verified.

Once the POST Council accreditation assessors complete their review of the agency, they report back to the POST Council Accreditation committee who will recommend to the POST Council if the agency is to be re-accredited.

Accreditation is for 3 years, during which time the agency must submit annual reports attesting to continued compliance with those standards under which they were initially accredited or re-accredited.
